Deferred Tax Liability: Depreciation At the beginning of 2019, its first year of operations, Cooke Company purchased an asset for 100,000. This asset has an 8-year economic life with no residual value, and it is being depreciated by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, however, the asset is being depreciated using the MACRS (200%, 5-year life) method. During 2019, Cooke reported pretax financial income of 51,500 and taxable income of 44,000. The depreciation temporary difference caused the difference between the two income amounts. The tax rate in 2019 was 30%, and no change in the tax rate had been enacted for future years. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule that shows for each year, 2019 through 2026, (a) MACRS depreciation, (b) straight line depreciation, (c) the annual depreciation temporary difference, and (d) the accumulated temporary difference at the end of each year. 2. Prepare a schedule that computes for each year, 2019 through 2026, (a) the ending deferred tax liability and (h) the change in the deferred tax liability. 3.

Comprehensive Colt Company reports pretax financial income of 143,000 in 2019. In addition to pretax income from continuing operations (of which revenues are 295,000), the following items are included in this pretax income: Colts taxable income totals 93,000 in 2019. The difference between the pretax financial income and the taxable income is due to the excess of tax depreciation over financial depreciation on assets used in continuing operations. At the beginning of 2019, Colt had a retained earnings balance of 310.000 and a deferred tax liability of 8,100. During 2019, Colt declared and paid dividends of 48,000. It is subject to tax rates of 15% on the first 50,000 of income and 30% on income in excess of 50,000. Based on proper interperiod tax allocation procedures, Colt has determined that its 2019 ending deferred tax liability is 14,100. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule for Colt to allocate the total 2019 income tax expense to the various components of pretax income. 2. Prepare Colts income tax journal entry at the end of 2019. 3. Prepare Colts 2019 income statement. 4. Prepare Colts 2019 statement of retained earnings. 5. Show the related income tax disclosures on Colts December 31, 2019, balance sheet.
